This is a cross-sectional study that studied working status, teaching experiences, and workplace deviant behaviors using 254 primary school teachers in Enugu State Nigeria. Responses were elicited using a self-report scale titled “Work Deviance Behaviour Scale”. Data collected were analyzed using crosstabulation converted to bar charts, ANOVA, and bivariate statistical analyses. Given the outcomes of this research, we finally suggest that teachers at lower cadres deliberately violate workplace deviant behaviour compared to those at middle and upper cadres. The results showed that working status and years of experience do not correlate with workplace deviance behaviours. However, there was no significant correlation between working status and workplace deviant behaviours. For this reason, occupational health professionals and school management authorities should reform staff policy, improve communication, and
set up mechanisms that could checkmate activities and dispute negative personal value systems responsible for workplace deviant behaviours. - Publisher
